Chapter 154 The Paper "Lover" is a Little Busy (Part Fourteen)

The village incident has temporarily come to an end for An Nannan and her friends, but it is an excellent breakthrough point for the police!

The accomplices in the village confessed to their crimes without hesitation. They seemed to be terrified and dared not keep a word to themselves.

They would often wake up in the middle of the night, terrified by the terrifying dark figure that appeared in their dreams!

Even if the two brothers who imprisoned Jiang Lingbai were rushed to the hospital, their legs would be completely ruined and amputation would be the only option. They would spend the rest of their lives crippled, using crutches. They were eccentric and irritable, and no one wanted to take care of these two disabled people…

The brotherhood they once shared shattered upon waking. They saw each other as enemies, not even knowing who had attacked first. They wrestled and fought desperately, each trying to kill the other.

With a dull thud, the two "brothers" fell to the ground, both in so much pain they couldn't make a sound.

The next morning, Jiang Lingbai, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, learned the news: they had fought fiercely, and as a result, they were both sent to the intensive care unit again!

Even after they were released from the intensive care unit, they were still unwilling to give up and finally broke free... Their other intact leg also fell victim to the cruelty of their own brother!

Upon hearing this, a faint joy flickered in Jiang Lingbai's eyes, yet strangely, it also contained a chilling undertone, as if to say—

It's true that good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished; it's not that retribution won't come... it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet! And now, the time has come!

"Serves her right!" Her parents soon learned of the news and spat viciously.

It wasn't just those two brothers who were unlucky in the village; there were many, many more... They were like they were cursed with bad luck, unable to have a moment of peace these days!

Si Yisi was not surprised at all. How could they know how to repent without a profound lesson?

Serves you right!

With the strong support of relevant government departments, the village incident progressed quite smoothly, uncovering many hidden criminal trafficking chains.

The village where Cheng Jingliu lived was just one of the ones that failed to hold out!

The neighboring villages near her village also unknowingly became disaster areas. After Brother Lian was captured by Si Yisi, they tried to escape in all directions without a leader, but were caught in one fell swoop by the police who were lying in wait!

These details were kept from Cheng Jingliu and the other parties involved; only a tiny bit was revealed to them.

This is also for their sake, to protect them!

Si Yisi is waiting for the moment when all the big fish have been caught and the results announced; he hopes to see it before he leaves.

Meanwhile, after several days of brewing, An Nannan was surprised to hear some rumors circulating on campus—

It is rumored that someone bypassed the school and reported to the Education Bureau that Yang Muyan, a student at this school, had committed academic fraud in his thesis, and that there were signs of manipulation in his academic performance and scholarships. Furthermore, he is said to have been stalking a girl and harassing her daily!

However, it is rumored that without a formal announcement, there is no evidence that can convince the students at the school.

The first two rumors were not widely circulated, and only someone like An Nannan, who was constantly watching Yang Muyan's every move and preparing to strike a fatal blow, could know about them so clearly.

These two rumors didn't have much impact, but some whispers did circulate...

It is said that Yang Muyan offended someone.

An Nannan scoffed coldly, recalling her relationship with Yang Muyan, and thought to herself that it wasn't impossible.

Once, Yang Muyan boasted to her about some achievement he was about to attain, saying he was preparing for it, but he was rather vague in his description. A day or two later, when An Nannan asked him about it, he said he was already ready.

An Nannan didn't completely believe it without evidence, since spreading rumors to tarnish Yang Muyan's reputation could constitute defamation.

An Nannan would not leave herself with a single stain, especially not a stain related to Yang Muyan.

An Nannan didn't want to get involved in anything he did, and even getting her hands dirty... she actually found it a bit unsightly.

Si Yisi and An Nannan were completely in sync, so he also knew about this, but he didn't think it was just a rumor.

—It should be a fact that is currently unfolding.

He thought of An Nannan's always radiant grandmother and quickly realized that she was the one behind the operation.

It has to be said that Grandma Qiao Huixin is truly skilled; her level of expertise far surpasses that of An Nannan and the others. While An Nannan was only thinking of dealing with Yang Muyan on the most superficial level, her grandmother had already figured out how to use points closely related to the students' interests!

The second rumor was quite detailed and convincing, and An Nannan knew immediately that it was about her.

People are always more interested in gossip, and regardless of whether it's true or not, the rumor has spread like wildfire to every corner of the university.

Yang Muyan has become even more "famous"!

Many people are taking a wait-and-see approach, many express sympathy for the women who have been harassed, and some even believe in Yang Muyan—but all of this is based on his good looks and the refined and elegant demeanor he exudes.

“The rumors didn’t mention my name, which is good for our operation.” An Nannan was now able to remain extremely clear-headed when it came to Yang Muyan.

"When we strike first, many people who have heard the rumors will be more inclined to side with us."

This isn't about figuring out how to deceive classmates and gain their sympathy; on the contrary, An Nannan doesn't need sympathy!

She just wanted—

"As long as they can just wait and see... that's enough!" What's fake will always be fake; it can never become real.

Just like Yang Muyan, no matter how well she disguises herself, there will be a day when it crumbles! And this is just a backup plan for An Nannan and the others...

To prevent Yang Muyan from turning the tables and accusing him.

"His roommate sent a message—" Tang Yunlan read the message aloud, word by word.

"Hmm... Yang Muyan dressed up meticulously, wearing flashy clothes. We casually asked him about it, and he said he had plans for the evening. We also happened to see a reservation sign for the big flower shop on campus; it seems he ordered a lot of bouquets and is waiting to pick them up."

"Flower shop, flower delivery?" Tian Tian looked at An Nannan, a hint of disgust on her face.

It's almost certain; he's got the idea to harass An Nannan again!

This time, Yang Muyan seems to have no intention of working in secret. He plans to force An Nannan to acknowledge him directly!

After this "romantic" gesture of sending flowers or something else, it was clear that An Nannan and Yang Muyan's relationship was a done deal.

"Ugh... I feel disgusted." Tian Tian pinched her nose and made a vomiting motion.

Cheng Jingliu listened quietly, then interjected, "We can proceed as planned."

An Nannan nodded, buried her head in the blankets, and quietly asked Si Yisi, "Is it okay for us to do this?"

"Well done," Si Yisi replied, and then she saw An Nannan's face reveal two small dimples. Like a child who had just received praise, she covered her mouth and laughed.

Cheng Jingliu brought over a golden retriever. It looked majestic, but its fur was rather sparse.

The golden retriever started digging at the ground and barking furiously as soon as it saw An Nannan's phone, making a series of howling sounds.

Si Yisi: "..."

He said that Ah Tu had run off to somewhere, but this time he turned out to be a "vicious dog" kept by Cheng Jingliu!

Si Yisi was willing to bet that A Tu wasn't very satisfied, after all, the difference in species was just too great!

"Quiet."

Tang Yunlan heard the little paper doll on An Nannan's phone speaking, and then Jingliu's dog seemed to understand and raised its paw to howl.

Her tension eased considerably, and she laughed, saying, "Hey—it's like the two of them are having a conversation."

An Nannan glanced at Tang Yunlan with a strange look in her eyes.

She thought to herself...maybe they really are having a conversation?

This little incident didn't disturb their preparations. Yang Muyan strolled along, enjoying his daily life in the spotlight, unaware that he was already facing a major disaster.

"put!"

Cheng Jingliu spotted Yang Muyan, and with her command, A Tu charged straight at Yang Muyan like a tornado!

Its appearance was so much like a mad dog that Yang Muyan instinctively started running, only to be chased and made to look disheveled by A Tu!

"Rip—" Ah Tu ripped open a piece of Yang Muyan's clothing with great force, but at the same time, he didn't forget his goal. He herded Yang Muyan, this "evil sheep," like a sheepdog, forcing him into a corner!

Cheng Jingliu brought A-Tu here so that he could serve as a scare fodder!

Well-trained Ah Tu has this ability.

Since Yang Muyan was going to make such a public announcement, he definitely didn't want to meet with An Nannan. He was very shrewd, so he would never let his plans be ruined by the possibly insane An Nannan!

But An Nannan and the others just wanted to meet Yang Muyan... so they used A Tu's help!

Yang Muyan was cornered, and A Tu obediently stopped and wagged his tail, while a shadow suddenly fell in front of him.

An Nannan stood in front of Yang Muyan and looked at him.

Yang Muyan laughed, looking rather like a hypocrite. He spoke affectionately, "Nannan... have you finally realized my love for you and changed your mind? Are you willing to accept me again?"

“Yes.” An Nannan looked directly at Yang Muyan. “I realized your love for me.”

Her voice was cold and hard, like hailstones crashing down.

"Now, it's your turn to feel—my love for you."

As she spoke, An Nannan revealed a faint smile, but her gaze was extremely cold. She stretched out her slender hand, clenched it into a fist, and struck Yang Muyan's face!
